Abstract
The subject of this paper is the semantic and syntactic nature of Serbian complementizers da and što, as well as Bulgarian da and če, and the relation among all of them in the light of (non-)specificity for factivity and propositionality. They have been analyzed in various syntactic contexts and have also been related to the possible world semantics, as well as to the subjunctive semantics. Stemming from the relation propositional-factive, it is concluded that da-complements in Bulgarian can just be connected to a strong subjunctivity. On the other hand, with dacomplements in Serbian both the strong and the weak subjunctive are expressed. Considering all of the above, it is clear that the usage of da is broader in Serbian than in Bulgarian, and that da marks the subjunctive context in both languages. After comparing these four complementizers, we can conclude that the Bulgarian da is stronger than the Serbian da, and that the Serbian što is stronger than the Bulgarian če. In other words, the Serbian da (it can be propositional or factive) and Bulgarian če (propositional or factive) are non-specified complementizers, contrary to the Bulgarian da (propositional) and Serbian što (mainly factive, compared to sentences with da), which are specified.
